25 parts Complete MatureIn the shadowed halls of Velgrave Conservatory for Girls, one witch is missing, and another is dead. But only one of them matters, at least to everyone else.
It's the fall of 2002, and twenty-two-year-old witch Allie Devereux wants to stay far away from Whitmore County's suffocating magical elite and the haunted walls of her old boarding school. But when she receives a desperate phone call from her friend, Allie takes her half-merman lover, Kaz Benowitz, and returns to Louisiana to look for clues.
On the one hand, everything's the same: the girls are assholes, the cafeteria food costs more than Kaz and Allie's rent, and the teachers aren't getting paid enough to care. However, all that changed when Allie's former classmate, Cassandra Bell, was found lying dead on the ceiling of her old dorm room.
Louisiana is in a frenzy. Wealthy warlocks drag their kids out of the class, the media harasses Velgrave Conservatory, and no one seems to care that Allie's friend disappeared the very same night.
Haunted by guilt, Allie and Kaz must navigate a world of gleaming uniforms, cruel smiles, and enchanted secrets - where the girls on top hide rot beneath their lip gloss and the school's ivy-covered walls hum with ancient, buried magic.
As she and Kaz infiltrate the same cliques Allie resented, the duo uncovers a conspiracy darker than any spellwork taught in class. Something old is stirring beneath Velgrave, and the couple must figure out what is - even if it means dealing with petty gossip, suffocating adults, and Allie's shady ex-husband.
